Pulling submission data of the form using the AI Agent chatbot

    It seems like the AI cannot pull the data or information of the submission from the form that it is linked to it. Is there any solution to this? We would like to know the details of the submission just by asking for it via ai chatbot.

    To be clear, we are trying to use it to create a AI bot that can be used as a search like tool for submissions we're entering into a form for activities that happen with our clients so in the future we can quickly discover when certain things took place in the paste when a client asks us about changes, etc that were made.

    We were originally going to use a google doc to do this but it seems Jotform can't read those no matter the share settings.

    Is there any methodology we're not considering to accomplish our goal or is this unintended behavior of form submissions.

    Hi Brandon,

    To pull the submission data from your form using the AI Chatbot, you can copy the link your forms submission table that is set as Public and crawl it your AI Agent Knowledge base. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Dropdown Arrow at the upper left side of the panel.
    2. Select the Tables option in the App Menu and you will be redirected to the Jotform Table dashboard.
    3. Hover your mouse over to other to the upper right corner of the panel and click on the Share button.
    4. Then, click on the Share Settings button, select the Public Table option, click on the Go Back button and click on the Copy Link button.

    Thank you for that. We did the setup, however, it doesn't seem to pull all of the data. There are columns that were not being pulled, only the first 5 columns
